Hello Gathered Friends, I'm HeroraNuva and on this channel, I do in depth analysis on Lego Bionicle's lore, themes, and characters! Bionicle is my favorite story and I love literary analysis, so this is a chance to do both! I also have a tumblr blog dedicated to Bionicle, linked below, where I do a lot of discussion and memes and headcanons with other fans there.

How the Six Principles explain the ending to Mask of Light | BIONICLE Deep Dive
Переглядів 8 тис.Рік тому
The Six Principles were a set of values that the Matoran had in addition to the Three Virtues, introduced in MNOG II, where you play as Hahli in preparation for the Kohlii tournament. While a relatively obscure part of the lore, the Principles offer an incredible amount of worldbuilding to the island of Mata Nui, and may offer additional insight into the significance of the ending to Mask of Li...

Why I love Botar | BIONICLE Deep Dive
Переглядів 6 тис.Рік тому
Today we take a look at Botar, the Order of Mata Nui agent tasked with teleporting irredeemable villains to the Pit. While he admittedly had little character or impact on the events of the plot, in my view he had an immense gravitas to him, and contributed a lot to the atmosphere and worldbuilding of Bionicle.

An AMV I cooked up showing Makuta Teridax from Bionicle, set to Attack on Titan opening: The Rumbling, to kind of compare the characters of Teridax and Eren. While in canon, Makuta was always pure evil, there had been hints that there might've been more tortured side to him, that he believed he was doing what he was in order to "save" Mata Nui. And so, depending on how you choose to interpret t...
Why Everyone Who Used the Mask of Life Died | BIONICLE Deep Dive

Why was it that everyone who used the Mask of Life died, and why was everyone who was touched by it cursed? Was this truly the price that had to be paid for its godlike power? In this video we explore the thematic significance behind why everyone who ever used the Ignika was forced to sacrifice their life in some way or another.

Few masks in Bionicle have a legacy as storied and as tragic as Lhikan's Mask of Shielding. Both beings who wore it, Lhikan and Jaller, met the same fate: Their homes destroyed, their teammates dead, and their lives lost protecting someone they love from the wrath of Makuta. Here, we dive deep into the parallels between the tragedies of Jaller and Lhikan, and their shared mask. Everything in th...

Pompeii - Legends of Metru Nui | BIONICLE [AMV]
I remember not caring much for the sets, finding them overpriced and too childish-looking (Be it for the roundness, the colouring, the simplicity; it just didn't feel like what i used to play with as a kid) So having little to no money i only got G2 second wave Lewa + flying beast thing and kinda forgot about the rest. I still wish i had money as a kid because stores were filled with unsold G1 bionicle taking dust but by the time i got a job at 19 they were either sold or thrown away
Toa Mari are my favorite
Rather funny you applied the team player quality to 3 specific toa elements as their unique element-spwcific trait.😀
I LOVED this analysis, I agree with you. I even teared up for some reason, somehow discussions of this movie when I'm 29 touch me deeper than when I watched it several times as an 8-year old. I guess themes of responsibility and courage weren't relevant for a child.
Something worth noting about the Olmak is that only two of them were ever made (not counting the ones from other universes, anyway), both by Artakha. So even in-universe, they were extremely rare, to the point of bordering on Legendary Masks on their own.
It's an interesting idea, and it would definitely fit Teridax's MO. That said, I think psychically influencing the Shadowed One into going to war is a bit overkill and in-universe, probably unnecessary. Metru Nui is a known strategic target and important location, even without the context of knowing it's Mata Nui's brain. The Dark Hunters would have a vested interest in conquering the city regardless, and we've seen that said desire persisted even after the Toa-Dark Hunter War, given Dweller's continued presence in the city. Or in short, Teridax would have no need to mentally manipulate the Shadowed One into trying to take over Metru Nui, he'd just have to wait for the leader of the Dark Hunters to get ambitious enough to try it himself, because it's a predictable move. It would just be a matter of when it would happen, not if it would happen.
Truly amazing! The Principles are very fascinating and I love this context! The idea they were developed by the Turaga in response to their time as Hordika is a cool angle I love!

What about nockturn is he anti takanuva
I was a massive fan from the early days, felt the bars magma stuff separated the story from what it was too much but stayed interested. Hated the simplistic G2 stuff and the changes to things like the toa of air/jungle. Onua being simple was quite the off put too.
Hahli is peak
And they are not all pink
lol, didn´t knew, there is such a big queer bionicle fanbase... by the way, i´m non binary as well°°
being a wings of fire fan, I I have a good feeling i'll enjoy bionicle
Excellent video
Thank you for choosing Gukko airlines! Please do not interact with the makuta or dark hunters
This video is a painfull experience for headphone and ear bud users
well done
it sounds like you’re saying depth is qualitative and complexity is quantitative
Jaller be like I bought 3 so I’m sitting in 3
If Bionicles have a blood or blood like fluid it would be liquid protodermis
So I'll die either way if I choose any one of those seats from Kreka and Lhikan all the way to Mota Nui and Klick
I always thought it was so that they could weaken one another while still leaving enough alive to be useful in his future plans.
1:28 unless You travel with Hahli underwater. Then You'll start feeling concerned about Your own safety.
Wait, so doesn’t that mean that the mask of Jaller (the hau) survive the flood? And I do think a bit of lhikan is still in that mask.
I do love the character depth in Bionicle, good video dude.
The saddest thing about Bionicle is that collecting it will only get more expensive. I wish I'd rediscovered it ten years ago when sets were still fairly cheap and I had a bit of disposable income. Then again, I also wish I'd bought bitcoin ten years ago.
Let G1 Bionicle come back & let it have a series of its own!
9:53 911💀💀
Another minor detail you didn't include: Matoran/Toa of Earth prefer to live underground; Reidak is claustrophobic
I don’t suppose that if the Element of Light had a Principle, it’ll be a culmination of the 3 Virtues (Unity, Duty & Destiny) and it’s enemy would naturally be Darkness (Shadow). So if anyone has an idea of what would the Principle be and what kind of Skill would it grant, I’m all ears.
How insane do you have to be to bring your sexual perversion to a childrens theme?
*sips water* Don't mind me, I'm just taking a break from your bad faith saltiness. Hey pal? Do your research before calling something a "perversion". This isn't even being rude, this is just a genuine piece of advice.
@@hewkiithetiscytofficialcha8903 the video is trying to say that their is trans and non binary interpretation in a childrens toy. Again the only perversion is this person corrupting an innocent toy line and making it about sexual ideology. It's creepy and gross
@@hewkiithetiscytofficialcha8903 there is no need to make a children's toy sexual. It's creepy and gross
@@dominicanderson9492 you're really starting to sound like a broken record, you really are. And your use of "sexual" in this context just *really* reeks of bad faith. you just want attention and you can't convince me otherwise. Get all of this through your thick skull. You can't just say some hateful-sounding stuff and expect literally nothing to happen ("Respect opinions??? 'Communities have good sides'????? What do you mean by any of that????" <- accurate representation of you)
@@hewkiithetiscytofficialcha8903 lol hateful for telling the truth? Their is no reason to bring up your confused or imaginary sexual identity. Or maybe this person realized that their belief isn't real so they turn to an imaginary story to continue their insanity.
when i was younger i use to think takadox and vamprah where female because back then i thought Bionicle characters that were blue were female (except for when they weren't) looking back i now actually wish those two were girls (mainly takadox) more than ever because of the lackluster female representation in Bionicle.....especially in Bionicle's rogue's gallery! -idc if it isn't PC to misgender fictional characters i still wanna headcanon takadox as a she/her-
Another great deep dive! Keep up the great work and keep the legend alive!😁
Sitting next to Mata Nui is the only good option here, idk who that other guy in the row is but
Vezon is also unlike Gali. Gali vouches for teamwork, and Vezok couldn’t truly be the opposite otherwise the Piraka wouldn’t be a standard team of 6. Vezon leaves the entire team in less than 5 minutes, and tries to kill them all later.
Yo yo pirakkaaa
I wanted to see the full mutated Ussal crab, but I guess one can dream.
Great summary about meaning of why losing your powers important.
When I first read the title of this video, I was like surprise. But before I watch it, I started to think and maybe he wasn’t so bad? I love how you breakdown his character and that you mentioned that he was part of the Bionicle version of suicide squad. I do also think at Vezon should have his own show, for when he’s traveling through the Multiverse. And having takanuva tag along with him, now that would be a good idea. Nice video dude.
Just found your channel yesterday and have been binge watching since. Love your stuff, brother! Hope you're gonna keep doing things!
It just had two heroic bearers.
3:28 I'm glad you brought that up, in Tale of the Toa there's a scene where Tahu's being pinched by scorpions and it always drove me crazy because I just thought of them as mechanical.
Nuparu was a lot like Takua. A very strange and outlandish individual. Unlike Takua, Nuparu seemed to lack the leadership, heroics, and will for adventure that were needed to be a Toa. Nuparu didn’t really have those Toa-like qualities until the Bohrok arc. After being saved, he began to take charge and found the will to fight. In a way, Whenua was right. His right and left hand Matoran ended up saving the life and inspiring a future Toa.
Something I just thought about when listening to this. When Takua used the Toa Stones to summon the Toa Mata, he was supposedly exposed to the energy inside them, so why was he not turned into a Toa himself?
Matoro 😢
I feel like Botar should of done more in the story.
My question is who is mad enough to fly this plane
Vezon, vezon Is mad enough to fly this plane
